HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (GENERAL)
Ensure that neither the patient nor the
operator can get any part of the body or
clothes near or in between the moving
parts of the mechanism when the couch
is being raised or lowered.
Be particularly careful for those situations
indicated below (the couch is set in
flexion position combined with the lowest
possible position):
a) Underneath the head section,
between the head section and floor.
b) Underneath the leg section, between
the leg section and framework.
c) Under the couch adjustment bars
(therapist’s feet). These situations
occur only when the couch is
adjusted to the lowest possible
position.
Ensure that you will never rest your
feet on the all-around-operation.
Especially when seated next to the
couch it can lead to a dangerous
situation in which your leg can be
jammed between the section and
the all-around-operation.
